Oh my goodness. I can't believe the blog police let us slip a whole week by with no new material! Here are a few to make up for lost time. More snow this weekend and again, Edward was flummoxed by this contraption we call a snowsuit. He refused to do anything but sit, though he didn't seem to mind being out and looking around at the white, white world. We held up snow for him to touch and even gave him a snowball, but no interaction. Maybe once he can walk on his own he'll be more inclined to explore the many wonders of winter.

This is one of Edward's "play stations" in the living room. It's the end table between our couch and chair and it's the perfect height for standing with a puzzle. It also happens to have a box underneath it with just enough room between the underside of the table and the top of the box to make a perfect shelf for hiding the puzzle pieces. There is endless entertainment in moving the pieces between the table top and the box top and with the occasional stop in between to retrieve pieces that have fallen to the floor. We're working on "Cow says, 'Mooo!'" but so far it's just Mom and Dad moo'ing like idiots for his amusement.

For more indoor entertainment, Edward is loving his wagon full of blocks and is even starting to manipulate the pieces into towers. It's still way more fun to destroy towers than to create them so he doesn't get very high before they come tumbling down. Still, he concentrates on fitting the pieces together and making them stand on the wagon handle, which doubles as a building base.

Mealtime is still a challenge. Whatever we offer at first he examines and then throws on the floor--even foods we know he likes and that he eventually will eat, like tonight's pasta, which he clearly enjoyed. He likes to go for the full sensory experience of eating--why stop at taste and smell?
